Protecting military and defence equipment quality to protect service personnel

With defence budgets increasingly squeezed but governments still demanding the highest standards of equipment to enable service personnel to operate safely and effectively, defence industry suppliers are under pressure to make cost savings throughout their manufacturing processes. Military aviation hardware ranging from fighter jets and attack helicopters, heavy transport planes and lifters, airborne weaponry and drones to defence avionics, communications and infrastructure must now be produced in a more commercial manner, so process efficiency is a must.

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence measurement technology is used to help build, maintain and repair military aerospace equipment and keep armies, navies and air forces mobile, agile and ready to react in times of emergency. As well as being active in the production sector, our portable metrology technologies help ground engineers and service personnel with day-to-day operations like component inspection and damage reporting, reverse engineering of spare parts, and maintenance, repair and overhaul operations.
